Travel through the heavens

The flowers fade and the summer breeze blows.

Nearly three months passed in a flash. The most beautiful spring in Xueyue City left, and the cool summer arrived.

In the courtyard where Fang Muye lives, plants grow more and more luxuriantly, and a lush greenness blows in the air like a summer breeze.

In the pavilion, Fang Muye frowned and stared at the chessboard in front of him, not knowing how to make his move.

Opposite him, Sikong Changfeng was stroking his short beard with a smiling face, which made Fang Muye so angry that he wanted to slap him in the face.

During this period of time, Sikong Changfeng often came to Fang Muye to play Go. Although Fang Muye also had considerable attainments in Go, how could he compete with Sikong Changfeng, who had been addicted to this art for many years and claimed to be the best in the world? So he always ended up losing.

Losing a game of chess was normal, and Fang Muye didn't care about it. But what was hateful was that Sikong Changfeng's "sarcastic" words were so varied, and he would say one or two from time to time, coupled with his annoying expression, which really made Fang Muye grit his teeth.

But Sikong Changfeng stretched himself, yawned, and then showed an aggrieved look, and said faintly: "Brother Fang, if you wait any longer, I will fall asleep. Also, this chess piece of mine is made of the black blue stone from the Bihu Lake. It is very rare. You should use less finger strength, so as not to crush it."

Fang Muye glanced at Sikong Changfeng who was pretending to be so pretentious, clenched his left hand hidden under the table, then smiled calmly and put the chess piece between his right fingers back into the chess box: "Brother Changfeng, I admit defeat in this game."

Sikong Changfeng smiled until his eyes narrowed into lines, and he said with a chuckle: "Brother Fang's chess skills have greatly improved recently. I am also exhausted from dealing with him. I was lucky to win by half a piece. Come on, let's play another game."

"No." Fang Muye's mind moved, and he said, "Brother Changfeng, I recently came up with a 'Zhenlong chess game'. Are you interested in cracking it?"

Sikong Changfeng immediately looked very interested: "Put it out quickly and let me take a look." After saying that, he waved his hand and cleared the chessboard.

Fang Muye pondered for a moment, and recalled the "Zhenlong Chess Game" that he had seen in the Tianlong World. Then he waved his hand casually, and nearly two hundred chess pieces were placed on the chessboard again, with black and white confronting each other.

Sikong Changfeng looked over immediately. At first, his expression was still somewhat playful, but as he looked at it more, he became serious and his brows furrowed.

Fang Muye saw Sikong Changfeng's change and couldn't help but smile in his heart: This "Zhenlong chess game", if you understand it, it will be easy to break it, but if you don't understand it, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven. You are so serious about chess, I don't believe it won't be difficult for you.

As he was laughing secretly, Fang Muye suddenly felt something in his heart and turned his head to look at Cangshan Mountain in the distance.

Sikong Changfeng also looked up in the direction of Cangshan Mountain, and then looked at the chessboard.

Fang Muye asked, "Brother Changfeng, don't you want to go to the mountain to take a look?"

Sikong Changfeng said without even looking up: "What's there to see when these two siblings are testing swords?"

Although Li Hanyi and Lei Wujie recognized each other that day, the agreement they made was not invalidated. I think it was to motivate Lei Wujie to practice sword.

Now that the brother and sister have tested their swords, the time to leave Xueyue City is finally approaching.

A moment later, the sound of whistling wind and sword chanting was heard, and a red light cut through the sky and flew straight towards Cangshan Mountain. It was the Killing Sword that Li Hanyi had nailed on the plaque of Dengtian Pavilion more than three months ago.

When the sword energy on Cangshan Mountain surged again, the sword test finally came to an end.

An hour later, Lei Wujie came running over happily, carrying two swords on his back and with a bright smile on his face. When he saw Fang Muye, he shouted, "Master." He then greeted Sikong Changfeng, "Third City Lord."

Sikong Changfeng just lowered his head and waved his hand without even looking at Lei Wujie.

Lei Wujie asked doubtfully: "The Third City Lord?"

Fang Muye shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry about him. You look very happy."

Lei Wujie nodded and said with a chuckle, "Master, I entered the realm of freedom two days ago. Today, I tested three swords with my sister, and my sister agreed to go back to Leijiabao with me."

Fang Muye asked: "When do you plan to go back?"

Lei Wujie replied loudly, "We'll set off tomorrow." He paused and lowered his voice, "But my sister said she can travel a thousand miles a day, so let me go first, and she will catch up naturally when the time comes. Master, do you want to go back to Leijiabao with me?"

Fang Muye shook his head: "Master still has some things to do, you go back first."

Lei Wujie uttered an unhappy "oh" and suddenly asked mysteriously, "Master, have you heard of the Four Guardians of Apocalypse?"

Fang Muye smiled and said, "Not only have I heard of him, I've also met the previous Suzaku Envoy."

"Master, have you met the previous Suzaku Envoy?" Lei Wujie's desire to show off was dashed, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. However, he was still very curious about the Four Guardians of Apocalypse who served the same term as his mother Li Xinyue.

Fang Muye nodded: "Not only have I seen it, you have seen it too."

"Ah? I've seen him before too?" Lei Wujie was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and asked, "Who is it?"

Fang Muye glanced at Sikong Changfeng who was about to lie on the chessboard: "Look, isn't it right there?"

Lei Wujie shouted, "The Third City Lord is the Suzaku Envoy! What about Senior Sister Qianluo?"

Sikong Changfeng, who had been immersed in the chess game, stood up, picked up the chessboard, waved his sleeves, and walked out of the pavilion: "That was many years ago. I am now only the third city lord of Xueyue City. As for Qianluo..." Sikong Changfeng paused, shook his head, and asked: "Did your sister give you your mother's Azure Dragon Order?"

Lei Wujie hummed and said, "After my sister and I tested swords, she told me about the Four Guardians of Apocalypse and the rebellion of Prince Langya in Apocalypse City. She also gave me my mother's Azure Dragon Order." As he spoke, he took out a token from his arms.

It was an exquisite token made of gold, engraved with a giant dragon breathing fire.

"Your sword is a sword of protection, just like your mother's sword. Everything is destiny." Sikong Changfeng glanced at the Azure Dragon Order, his face showing a look of reminiscence. Then he patted Lei Wujie's shoulder, sighed softly, and walked out slowly: "Brother Fang, I will take this 'Zhenlong Chess Game' back. You wait a moment, I will find a way to crack it soon."

"Okay." Fang Muye responded calmly. He glanced at the absent-minded Lei Wujie and said with a smile, "Wujie, you will leave the city tomorrow. Go and say goodbye to your friends."

"Master, I'll go then." Lei Wujie ran out of the yard with a smile.
